Solidarity Christmas Decorations

There are several good reasons to buy second-hand Christmas decorations. Firstly, the items come from all eras and styles and offer very advantageous prices. Moreover, the decorations are in excellent condition, almost new!

By buying second-hand, you contribute to giving a second life to these baubles and garlands while supporting actors engaged in solidarity projects that create employment.

There are special Christmas sales organized in several Strasbourg-based structures in November and December.
